Australia The Land - Top End


A helicopter swoops low to flush wild bulls from thick undergrowth. Sturdy Jeeps career and lurch amidst swirls of red dust. Adrenaline rushes as the bulls are mustered. An adventure to thrill even the most travelled. Imagine waking in your treetop lodge to the strange calls of brilliant and exotic birds and gazing out over the expansive wetlands. Imagine skimming across the water on an airboat as wild buffalo explode through carpets of water lilies and countless birds take flight. Watch carefully and see huge crocodiles disappear into the lagoon with the flick of a tail.

The Top End is subtropical and located 12 degrees south of the equator. The area is characterised by lush green vegetation, world heritage wetlands and an incredible variety of wildlife. The diversity of the landscape, with its magnificent natural attractions and close connection to Aboriginal peoples creates an interesting and fascinating location to excite the senses and invigorate the spirit. The climate is divided into wet and dry seasons, rather than summer and winter.

The wet season, November to April, has frequent warm downpours, with temperatures 25° - 33° C and the dry season, between May and October, has temperatures of 15° - 27°C. Go to Property Profiles
